Are we willing to see two Suns?

These days newspapers and science magazines are jam packed with the latest solar rumor of two suns. Rumor says that, this will be an extra-ordinary miracle thing that will turn into reality. The days and nights will be rejoices with two suns. I wish it could be happen soon, I mean I personally want to experience that big bang story.
Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland in Australia claimed that the galactic blast could happen before 2012 – or any time over the next million years. The old star Betelgeuse is running out of fuel (the fuel means helium and hydrogen) and start fusing towards Supernova. The explosion will be so bright that even though the star in the Orion constellation is 640 light-years away, it will still turn night into day and appear like there are two suns in the sky for a few weeks. The prediction is that all of this would go down in 2012. That, of course, means that this actually happened 640 years ago, more than 100 years before Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue.
Some people correlate this with doomsday theories linking the supernova to the Mayan calendar’s prediction of an Armageddon in 2012. Some of them start telling/commenting that will be the end of us. Some correlates to the Bible and some others. Thousand people ten thousand thoughts, so, we just need to wait and watch.
Expert says if that would happen, it would be far away from earth and hardly affect us. So, we don’t need to worry about it. When a star goes blast or bang, the first we will observe of it is a rain of tiny particles called neutrinos,’ said Dr Carter. They will flood through the Earth and bizarrely enough, even though the supernova we see visually will light up the night sky, 99% of the energy in the supernova is released in these particles that will come through our bodies and through the Earth with absolutely no harm whatsoever. Betelgeuse is the ninth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest in the constellation of Orion. Its distinct orange-red color makes it easy to spot in the night sky.
So, we will able to see incredibly beautiful site of the universe and possibly it will soon add into history. I am pretty much excited about it and hoping that Dr. Brad Carter’s wish will come true in coming year and we will able to see two suns. Yes! I am willing to see two suns during the days and night. No matter what will affect us because of that but it will be a millennium’s greatest experience of our life. I am ready for the brightest experience. Are you???
